Eco Winter Reads

Published January 28, 2011 | By ashley english

Happy Friday, everyone! My “Small Measures with Ashley” post is up over at Design Sponge. This week I’m weighing in with a list of titles for suggested ecologically-minded winter reads. Many of them I’ve read, while others are on my list. All of them are chock full of fantastically inspiring information and ideas. And all of them will help temper (hopefully) winter angst and cabin fever!

May your weekend be grand, wherever it takes you. It’s supposed to be over 50 degrees F here tomorrow, which, compared to the temperatures we’ve been shivering through, will feel like an absolute heat wave. I’ve no doubt there will be folks out in town in shorts. People really like to milk the warmer winter days around here…

Be well, ya’ll!

I've read a couple of these…my favorite being The Dirty Life. I could not put it down, and was so sad to be reading the last page. I wanted more!

I just finished Depletion and Abundance: Life on the New Home Front by Sharon Astyk, which I would really recommend. Made me glad I know a little about canning and beekeeping!
